The environmental field requires robust, high-sensitivity analysis capable of complying with regulations in order to always meet the stringent target values that have been established to assure the safety of the water supply and protect the environment. Moreover, in laboratories where more than 100 samples are processed per day, increasing the throughput and saving energy are issues of concern.

The demands of your high-throughput food and beverage QA/QC laboratory require high-speed and quality analysis. Whether analyzing the degradation of edible oils or the vitamins in baby food, or quantifying food additives, pesticide residues or the color in packaging materials, or determining the distinct aroma found in natural products, Shimadzu instruments are used throughout the process to keep your lab running smoothly and your customers satisfied.

Bioreactors and fermentors are used in a variety of biotechnology and industrial applications, e.g. in cell culture or microbiology experiments. A precise control of gas flow is essential for controlling the biological process and to achieve the desired result.

In the chemical field, ICP-AES is used for a broad range of analysis in order to manage trace amounts of hazardous metals in the manufacturing process, manage additive elements essential to the functionality of a product, and manage the environment of the entire factory. Therefore, it is desirable to have a robust, highly stable system able to reliably accept the injection of a broad variety of samples, regardless of the type of solvent (aqueous/organic) or the presence of matrices. It is also important to simplify processes and reduce costs, which enhances the productivity of daily quality control work.

In this tech note, we demonstrate how Applied Spectra’s J200 LIBS Instrument is ideal for performing many industrial measurement applications, including quality control (QC) during manufacturing processes.

The analysis of slags in the metal industry delivers important information about the production process.
FLUXANA has developed a fusion slag method which allows the direct analysis of most common slags. Elements of interest and calibrated concentration ranges can be selected individually by the customer.
The same application program can also be easily adapted to the analysis of different filter dusts (see CS-0023).
It can for example contain all parts to perform a complete slag analysis:
- Calibration set Slags prepared from CRM and primary oxides as glass beads
- Calibration work performed by FLUXANA expert 3 days on site
- 3x drift monitors for xrf instrument
- 5x control samples for validation
- Flux
FLUXANA application packages include always the sample preparation method. If you combine our application packages with our sample preparation machines FLUXANA garanties the analytical performance of the package like a contract.

This application package is a 'ready to go' calibration kit for xrf instruments.
Fusion technology is ideal for analysing oxidic materials like ashes. It performs with the highest precision possible in xrf sample preparation.
Primarily power stations and their control laboratories have to check the ash from the burning process of black and brown coal. Two standard DIN and ASTM methods describe the testing in detail. FLUXANA is able to deliver both methods ready from the bench.
It can for example contain all parts to perform a complete ash analysis:
- Calibration set ash prepared from CRM and primary oxides as glass beads
- Calibration work performed by FLUXANA expert 3 days on site
- 3x drift monitors for xrf instrument
- 7x control samples for validation
- Flux
FLUXANA application packages include always the sample preparation method. If you combine our application packages with our sample preparation machines we guarantee the analytical performance of the package like a contract.

Converting raw materials into more than 70 000 different products that are used in almost all industries, the chemical industry lies at the core of the global economy and, perhaps, modern civilization. There is hardly any industrially produced good that would exist without the chemical industry, all the more considering that it was not until the 19th century that chemistry, particularly organic chemistry, exploded with Wöhler’s urea synthesis. Within just a few decades, numerous important industrial processes were developed that still shape today’s chemical processes – from the chlor-alkali to the Solvay process, to name just a few. The production of high-tech, high-purity chemicals requires safe and reliable analytical solutions. Find out what we have to offer in this area.

Pharmaceutical analysis guarantees drug safety by providing information on the identity, content, quality, purity, and stability of pharmaceutical products using analytical chemistry. Metrohm offers you a broad range of instruments and applications for quality control and for monitoring and improving drug manufacturing. With myriads of pharmacopeia-compliant analysis methods, we are your qualified partner for all chemical-pharmaceutical analysis issues and analytical method validations. In accordance with international pharmacopeias and various guidelines, Metrohm offers you analysis for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, impurities, pharmaceutical solutions as well as pharmaceutical starting materials, and finished pharmaceutical products (FPPs). Additionally, we provide numerous wet chemical methods for atline and online process control as well as inline monitoring methods for assuring cost-effective manufacturing processes that satisfy all regulatory demands.

Synthetic polymers and plastics are a mainstay of modern life. Because of their versatility and physical properties, plastics and polymers have conquered nearly every aspect of human activity: airplanes and cars, packaging of all kinds, medical devices and products, electronics, and countless more – without high-quality and high-tech plastics most products we use today in everyday life would look very different. Polymer production is a demanding process in which high-purity raw materials undergo complex reactions and are turned into polymers, resins, rubbers, and gums. To make sure that the products meet the specifications, the materials and processes have to be monitored along the entire production chain. This makes the use of specific and highly accurate analytical techniques indispensable. We at Metrohm are committed to providing the instrumentation and know-how you need to solve your analytical challenges in polymer analysis.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has two stack testing methods for FTIR gas analyzers. Method 320 is an FTIR method for measuring wide range of organic and inorganic pollutants. Method 321 is a specific version for measuring hydrogen chloride HCl at cement kilns producing Portland cement. These methods define a quality assurance and control processes for verifying the accuracy of the results. The requirements for analytical equipment and software are defined on 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix B Performance Specification 15. Gasmet™ Gas Analyzers and Calcmet™ software have been designed to take the requirements of the performance specification into account.

Sustainable use of biofuels requires reliable and precise analytical methods throughout – from the choice of raw materials through to process optimization and on to the compliant final product. As a leading manufacturer of instruments for chemical analysis, we are quite aware of these challenges.

GE Analytical Instruments offers several Sievers TOC Analyzer models designed specifically to simplify monitoring of drinking water treatment plants. Always knowing the TOC levels throughout a water treatment plant, and improving TOC reduction, can help a plant not only control DBPs, but also implement efficient and potentially cost saving treatment processes.
